This is a new perspective on the Masquerade scene in the theater production Phantom of the Opera. This piece was written for a novel in progress of that story. Or rather a retelling of it.

This piece contains a lot of orchestration in all forms, including a pipe organ at the end.

"very very unique"

i like your violin? solo at 4:10, sounds extremely exotic, kinda of gypsy like = im assuming it is a referrence to the phantom's childhood.

the bass, being played by the lower brass, could use a bit more omph, and variation. for instance, making the the 2nd beat longer and the third shorter. or accents. and try arpeggios instead of the same notes.
making the bass a much more unique and involved part really makes a big difference.

what are you using to record/create this?

good job!

"Stunning!"

I have absolutely fallen in love with this piece! (actually I became a member here just to be able write this)

The emotion is overwhelming! It's so sad, but still it hangs on to the slight hope that shows once in a while... I would have loved to hear this with a real orchestra sometime!

As for the piano... *runs of to learn the pianopart herself* I love to play waltzes and this one is beautiful!
